Too complex for its own good!

Non-linear narration is one thing but this film keeps changing tracks at such a frequency, that you blink an eye and you might have missed the transition.

A whodunit, a gangster drama, and a neo-noir all rolled into one, this hard-to-classify quality of Vanjagar Ulagam is both its strength and weakness.

his is an out and out 'A' film. There are swear words being thrown around ruthlessly, and the scenes require them.

A novel attempt but laborious watch

Go for it if you fancy "experimental for the sake of it" stuff and also if you are a fan of Chandini Tamilarasan.(more)
